Do ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude agree? | AI Referral Tracker (https://aireferraltracker.com/do-chatgpt-gemini-claude-give-the-same-answer)

# Do ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude give the same answer?

They can name different businesses, so you can be named in one and missing from another. Check all three. Each assistant is a separate product with its own way of searching the web, and a customer may use any of them.

## What the sources say about each assistant

Google says some Gemini responses are grounded on Search results. OpenAI names OAI-SearchBot as the crawler that surfaces websites in ChatGPT’s search features.

Anthropic’s documentation for the web search tool in its API says Claude determines when to search based on the prompt. It says the response includes citations for the sources it draws from.

## What we saw

In an early test of the phone apps, ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude agreed only partly on which businesses to name. The Claude app showed ratings, and ChatGPT cited directory sites. It was a small test, so read it as a pattern worth checking in your own town.

Each time you ask, you can get different businesses, even in one assistant. Ask each assistant three times, in a new chat each time.

Put your town in the question. In our early tests, ChatGPT used a location we gave it, while Gemini and Claude asked which city. A line such as “I’m in Phoenix, AZ.” settles it for all three.

## How to compare them

- Open each assistant in a private window, and sign out if you can.
- Ask the question a customer would ask, with your town in it, such as “Who’s the best roofer near me? I’m in Phoenix, AZ.”
- Ask it three times in each assistant, each in a new chat. That gives nine answers.
- Write down every business named, in order. Mark each answer where the assistant suggests your business as one to contact.
- Compare the three lists side by side.

## What to do with the differences

Start with the businesses named by all three assistants. Open their sites and listings next to yours and see what they say that yours does not. A business named by only one assistant is worth a look too. Compare its site with the ones all three named.

Then work on the questions where you are missing in the most answers. A page on your own site that answers one specific customer question is a sensible first step.

## What a report adds

A report asks all three for you. You see how many of 180 answers named you, and who was named instead. You also get what to fix first to win more of the leads AI sends.

One report is $97, and it includes a free re-check 30 days later, so you see what changed.

## More questions owners ask

### Which assistant matters most?

The one your customers use. Ask your customers which they try, and check all three.

### Should I check Google as well?

Google Maps and Google’s AI Mode are separate places customers look, so check them on their own.

### Why do Gemini and Claude ask where I am?

Without a town in the question, they asked us which city in our tests. Add a line such as “I’m in Dallas, TX.” That gets you a local answer.
